In a stellar season , the Tigers keep roaring with a win over the Bulldogs , in front of a saturday night footy crowd . The Lions snatched certain victory away from the marauding Cats , in the upset of the round , when they kicked the winning goal after the siren. They staged a massive comeback after a 52 point deficit at 3/4 time . The Power shocked Sydney in SA to post a win , Freo thrashed NMFC in WA , and the Hawks retain top spot after clipping the Eagles wings on friday night footy . To add to their already absymal season , Saints defender Stephen Milne , has again had criminal charges laid against him . The hapless Saints beat bottom of the ladder dwellers Melbourne , who continue to struggle , despite sacking their coach last week .

Last Sunday at Elsternwick Park , the annual Community Cup , a fundraiser for Reclink , was played out under blue skies to the backdrop of rock & roll. This year it was the grizzled Rockdogs , ably captained by Dan Sultan and pragmatically coached by Aussie rockgod Paul Kelly , who drew with the try hard , local broadcasters, Megahertz . A crowd of 10,000 punters gloried in the action , wearing their vintage footy jumpers , jerseys , and retro guenrseys , whilst nursing a VB and pie , rocking the music , and revelling in the unseasonal June sunshine .
